April News and notes Here are some notes from our last meeting that we are passing along

Membership rates go up at the end of April. Current rates are $125 US and will be going up to $150 US as of May 1st. There is a membership cap and if we reach it, we will NOT be selling any at the door, so purchase now.

Check our membership list on line. We want to make sure your name is spelled correctly or you weren’t accidentally missed altogether. Human error does happen.

Remember to book your hotel as soon as possible. See our website for hotel booking info.

We are putting PR 3 together and it should go out and on line about this time next month.

May News and notesHere are a few notes for May:

PR 3 is now complete and all members from the last couple of years as well as current members should be receiving it soon. I also recommend checking out our on-line version of PR 3. We’ve hyper-linked just about everything. It can be found in the “publication” section of our website.

Remember that registration prices are now $150 US.

While there is still room during the convention itself, the Hyatt is pretty much book pre and post convention. Our overflow hotel is The International. Check our website for details.

For our US dealers and artists, we have customs information and documentation on our website. These can be found in the “details” section.
